Company Indicted in Mueller’s Junk Russian Bot Case Comes Out Swinging in Court

Robert Mueller rolled out an indictment of 13 Russians and 3 companies in his fake Russian bot case in February as a way to justify his salary and witch hunt.

He didn’t expect to actually fight any of the Russians in court.

Indicted Russian company, Concord Management and Consulting wants to play ball and blasted Mueller in court this week telling the Magistrate Judge, “the government has indicted the proverbial ham sandwich.”

Robert Mueller was thrown off when Concord Management and Consulting showed up to court wanting to fight the Special Counsel last week.

Concord is seeking all of Mueller’s evidence of the so-called conspiracy as a part of their discovery rights.

Mueller may now have to try the case, and Concord’s lawyers have put the special counsel on notice. The Russian company’s lawyers intend to invoke “discovery” to obtain U.S. intelligence about what they knew of Russian activities.

“I guess Mueller thought it was a freebie, for sure,” former federal prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy told The Daily Caller News Foundation after the court proceeding.

Late last Friday, Mueller requested a delay in the case and the Trump-appointed judge promptly smacked him down.

The indicted Russian company pleaded not guilty Wednesday and also revealed Mueller has access to their confidential files.

Defense Attorney Eric Dubelier was in court to represent Concord Management and Consulting, one of three companies indicted by Mueller in February. Dubelier entered a plea of not guilty to a charge of “Conspiracy to Defraud the United States of America.”

“The government has indicted the proverbial Ham sandwich,” Dubelier told Magistrate Judge G. Michael Harvey.

On Wednesday, there were no lawyers in court for the other two companies, nor were any of the Russian individuals present.

During Wednesday’s hearing, Dubelier complained that the special counsel “has access to all of our confidential files,” calling that development “disturbing.”

The case is scheduled to presume in early July.

Mueller and his team of liberal hack lawyers have taken a couple of big blows recently.

The Special Counsel is now having to try a case he is not prepared to fight on top of the fact that his case against Manafort is falling apart.

The judge handling Mueller’s bank fraud case against Paul Manafort lost his temper last week and accused the Special Counsel’s team of using the case to oust Trump from office.

Nunes and Gowdy are also a week away from obtaining Rosenstein’s memo detailing Mueller’s scope.

Devin Nunes, Trey Gowdy back off Justice Department after classified briefing

Tensions between two top congressional leaders and the Department of Justice appeared to cool after a roughly hourlong classified briefing in response to a subpoena for information regarding special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

“We had a productive discussion today with officials from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Department of Justice, and FBI in which we raised questions related to information requested from the Intelligence Community,” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., and House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said in a statement Thursday. “The officials committed to holding further discussions of these matters, and we look forward to continuing our dialogue next week to satisfy the Committee’s request.”

Tensions had escalated after the Justice Department — backed by the White House — told Nunes in a letter last week that turning over the requested information would be a risk to national security.

Nunes had subpoenaed the documents after the Justice Department did not respond to a classified letter he sent late last month with his request.

The subpoena reportedly demands “all documents referring or related to the individual referenced in Chairman Nunes’ April 24, 2018 classified letter to Attorney General [Jeff] Sessions.”

On Thursday, House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., defended Nunes’ subpoena, calling the request “perfectly appropriate within the scope of the committee’s investigation.”

Ryan said he expected “that they will be complied with.”

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, was also at the Justice Department separately for the same classified briefing, but his spokesperson declined to comment further.

I think that is what is going on also, Schiff is shitting his pants right now, reason for the no comment. Could we see another moment like Schumer running to the potty, kek.

John Bolton: The Iran deal was betrayed by its own abysmal record

John Bolton is U.S. national security adviser.

On Tuesday, President Trump announced his decision to withdraw from the failed Iran nuclear deal. The president has famously referred to it as “the worst deal in history.” Its very premise has been betrayed by its own abysmal track record over the past two years.

The theory behind the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, was that the Iranian regime would, in the interests of its own people, trade its nuclear ambitions for economic incentives. But rather than focusing on behaving responsibly, Tehran has poured billions of dollars into military adventures abroad, spreading an arc of death and destruction across the Middle East from Yemen to Syria. Meanwhile, the Iranian people have suffered at home from a tanking currency, rising inflation, stagnant wages and a spiraling environmental crisis.

President Trump acted prudently. He spent more than a year studying the deal, soliciting information and assessments from within his administration, and consulting with our allies. He decided that this deal actually undermines the security of the American people he swore to protect and, accordingly, ended U.S. participation in it. This action reversed an ill-advised and dangerous policy and set us on a new course that will address the aggressive and hostile behavior of our enemies, while enhancing our ties with partners and allies.

The president’s December recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital illustrates the latter policy; it will come to fruition Monday with the U.S. Embassy’s official opening in the Holy City. While some believe that Israel is an irritant that upsets the natural balance of power in the Middle East and that Israel’s influence should be constrained, this president sees the enormous benefits the United States has reaped from our sustained relationship with Israel, as well as the opportunity to leverage this investment into greater cooperation to the benefit of both nations.

The recognition of Jerusalem and expeditious move of our embassy is a case in point — a physical demonstration of the U.S. commitment to Israel, which is in fact a commitment to our national security interests. Israel’s recent revelation of a trove of documentation of Iran’s past nuclear weapons program demonstrates that we share common enemies who do not differentiate between us, and we are safer together than we are individually. In addition, Israel is a dynamic economic powerhouse. While its population is only one-tenth the size of Iran’s , Israel has a gross domestic product that is roughly equal to Iran’s, and the annual flow of foreign direct investment in Israel is four times greater than in Iran. Closer economic partnership with Israel will only increase America’s prosperity, which, as President Trump has pointed out, leads to greater security.

As part of the Iran deal announcement, the president also deliberately linked his withdrawal from the JCPOA to the ongoing negotiations with North Korea, announcing that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo would soon be landing in North Korea. No one in the Trump administration has any illusions about the negotiations ahead. But President Trump also understands that North Korea has exhibited a wide range of unacceptable behavior, and its weapons of mass destruction programs pose an immediate danger to America and our allies. The president much prefers to handle these issues diplomatically. Since the earliest days of his administration he has established strong working relationships with his Japanese and South Korean counterparts to help do just that.

Moreover, President Trump has not shied away from our differences with China but has also resolved to work cooperatively with President Xi Jinping, who will also play a critical role in any resolution to the North Korean nuclear threat.

In all of these cases, President Trump has been willing to take unconventional action to turn momentum to America’s favor. The Iran deal is not an inescapable trap — it’s merely an inadequate deal that couldn’t withstand serious scrutiny. The president’s commitment to keeping his word is evident in his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital — something three previous presidents had promised but failed to deliver. And President Trump created the opportunity for direct negotiation with North Korea. While the future remains uncertain and challenging, one thing we know for sure is that the president will always put America First.
